Sounds like a bug in the AT. Does dragon have a place to file bug reports?

Has anyone documented all the possible ways to create an accessible name for a form control that actually works in Dragon? I’ve heard the title attribute works. I know that WAI-ARIA does not work. Seems silly that a wrapped label would not work, wrapped labels still retain the larger click target area, click on the label will set focus to the input just like a for/id connection so I see no reason why wrapped labels should not work in Dragon.

I’d love to see someone post a video of what works and does not work for HTML user interface controls in Dragon!
